About FlowForecast
What is FlowForecast?
FlowForecast is a demand forecasting platform that automates forecasting without complexity. It automatically selects the best model for each SKU, backtests every forecast, and provides confidence intervals (P10–P90) so planners can make confident decisions.
Problem it solves
Traditional forecasting often requires Excel acrobatics or a dedicated data science team. FlowForecast eliminates that by uploading a CSV with demand history and receiving accurate forecasts, risk signals, and recommendations in minutes. It handles intermittent and lumpy demand patterns, reducing stockouts and excess inventory.
Who it's for
FlowForecast is built for supply chain planners and small-to-mid-sized businesses that need reliable forecasts without heavy technical resources. It's ideal for retail, e-commerce, and distribution companies. It is not for those seeking full ERP integration or advanced risk simulation — that's still in pilot.
Use cases
Planners use FlowForecast to forecast demand 26 weeks out, detect anomalies, and set safety stock and reorder levels. It also provides clear explanations of trend and seasonality, making it easy to defend forecasts to stakeholders.
Key features
